That's what I thought too, but in every discussion about LSP (or
lsp-mode v. eglot), people never fail to mention performance over TRAMP.

My memory is fuzzy here, but I think people just ssh?  I believe VSCode
has something similar to TRAMP (which was remarked to be much "smoother"
and "better OOTB" than TRAMP) but I have no idea about its interaction
wrt LSP.

Another thing that Reddit does a lot is complain about how slow/clunky
TRAMP is.  Sometimes this seems to be solved by actually reading the
TRAMP FAQ/manual (like setting the remote server's prompt to something
sane, etc.).  Take this with a grain of salt because (a) I've only ever
used the doas TRAMP method and (b) my memory is fuzzy since I don't use
LSP myself and hence I don't care too much about these discussions.
